Question creators should be able to Add/Remove news tags for heir questions
Would it be a good idea to add the ability for users to edit the tags portion of their created questions? As an example I created a question tonight about the recent Russian bomber flights into Japanese airspace and over the U.S.S. Nimitz.

The problem is that I didn't make good choices for my news tags and no news source were found for the topic. If I could edit the tags i could make them broader to hopefully get some stories. This could also help in cases where the tags are to general and unrelated news gets picked up, though the news ranking feature helps out in this situation.
Anyway, just a thought. Any comments?

Inappropriate?Good idea. But does anyone really check the offered news anyway ? I trust my own searches & sources more :) -
Inappropriate?Hey Blair,
I think that is a pretty good idea. I'll pass it on. Anyway I've edited the tags to get some news items up. Just remember simple words, like russia, japan, nimitz can get very good results.

Inappropriate?It wouldn't be a bad idea to allow some extra editing ability on other parts of the question (at least the second text box under the question, but maybe the whole thing). Many voids could be eliminated, especially if a flag was like the contact us page (I mean the flagger could explain their reason for flagging), and was sent to both the editor and the question writer. Of course you couldn't edit after you had predicted on the question, and changes couldn't be so extreme that other people who had already wagered felt cheated. At the least it wouldn't be a bad idea to allow editing for a few minutes (like here at Get Satisfaction) before the question goes live. Sometimes it's only when you inspect the final question page that you notice something you wish you could fix.
I agree fully about the tags. You don't know how irrelevant the articles that match your tags are going to be until you see them.
